Munakata Shiko Memorial Museum of Art

The Munakata Shiko Memorial Museum of Art displays woodblock prints, paintings, and calligraphy works across two floors of steel-reinforced concrete structure.

The museum opened its doors in November 1975 to honor artist Shiko Munakata after receiving the Cultural Order of Merit from the Japanese government.

The museum exhibits the artist's masterpiece 'Two Bodhisattva and the Ten Great Disciples of Sakyamuni' along with numerous woodblock prints throughout the year.

The museum divides its exhibition schedule into four seasonal periods: spring from March to June, summer from June to September, autumn from September to December, and winter from December to March.

The building incorporates Azekura architectural style, which was commonly used in temple construction during the Nara and early Heian periods of Japan.
